Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"Ying Liu pays respects to the Elder, the target has been successfully killed!"

In the eerie great hall, Ying Liu took out a box, inside which was a lifeless human head.

On the large chair not far away, the space began to distort, and a gaunt old man slowly appeared.

"To assassinate a Martial King Ninth Layer with your Martial King Seventh Layer cultivation, your assassination technique has improved considerably."

The elder nodded with satisfaction. The outside world thought the Black Nether was just a killer organization, believing they’d do anything for money, but they didn’t see it that way. They only took high-difficulty tasks, earning commissions wasn’t the goal, it was merely to hone their assassination skills.

"Thank you for the Elder’s praise!"

Ying Liu put away the head and continued, "On my way back from the mission, I heard someone say that Wei Fan has already left the wilderness and returned to the Beiding Continent."

In the past few hundred years, Wei Fan could be said to be the most severely damaging target to the Black Nether organization, having killed three Black Nether assassins. Like those forces that held grudges against Wei Fan, the Black Nether was also keeping an eye on Wei Fan’s movements.

However, now that Wei Fan has become a Saint, he is not someone ordinary assassins can handle. Given the terrifying nature of a Saint Realm powerhouse, even if the Black Nether’s assassination methods could approach Wei Fan quietly, the Martial King’s cultivation couldn’t breach a Saint Realm powerhouse’s body, not to mention Wei Fan is the most terrifying kind of Body Ascension powerhouse.

The elder in front had already spread the word, intending to personally take action to kill Wei Fan to maintain the Black Nether’s reputation; only then did he speak up.

The Black Nether’s cultivation technique is very peculiar. Besides mainly cultivating assassination methods, the more a genius their target, the more beneficial it is for the growth of their Killing Dao. This is also why the various forces of the Five Great Domains disdain the Black Nether.

Because any long-standing power has had genius disciples assassinated by the Black Nether. Many times, even without a task being released, the Black Nether would proactively assassinate those geniuses.

"You may leave, as for Wei Fan, we’ll put it on hold. Headquarters sent a message that the Saint Son will personally take action against Wei Fan, to prove the Killing Dao."

Hearing this, Ying Liu was delighted: "The Saint Son himself will come to kill Wei Fan? That’s great news. If I can learn something from the Saint Son, it would be immensely beneficial for me."

Actually, the Black Nether organization is not much different from the Jianghu Sects. They don’t kill for Spirit Crystals, it’s more about cultivating the way of assassination, not only having a Saint Son and elders but also the supreme Nether Venerable.

The current Saint Son of Black Nether has not only broken through to the Saint Realm, but also has a record of assassinating a Saint Realm powerhouse long ago.

The elder nodded, "The Saint Son won’t pay attention to you..."

While speaking, the elder’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. He reached out towards Ying Liu through the air, and an invisible force drifted from Ying Liu’s body to his hand: "Bastard, you didn’t even realize you were being followed!"

Immediately after, his figure flashed, appearing outside the great hall in an instant, where he saw a young man leisurely walking through the Grand Array.

"Wei Fan!"

Ying Liu exclaimed. The person who had followed him here could be none other than Wei Fan, who had recently stirred up the Five Great Domains, a Saint Realm powerhouse. No wonder he hadn’t noticed being followed.

Wei Fan swept his Heart Spirit, finding there were not many people here; besides the two in front of him, there was only a Peak Martial King who was in closed cultivation.

"The Black Nether is indeed extraordinary. Just a branch in the Beiding Continent, yet it has a Killing Saint."

[Elder Ying: Condensing Dao cultivation, Black Nether Beiding Continent branch elder, countless kills]

[Kill him to gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 1,500 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

He looked at the panel, initially thinking that at most there would be a group of assassins with Martial King cultivation, not expecting there to be a Martial Saint assassin. Surviving for so many years, Black Nether is probably more terrifying than anyone imagined.

"For you to be able to find this place, you are indeed more terrifying than the Xuanyuan Peak demon!"

Elder Ying couldn’t help but exclaim. Throughout Black Nether’s history, it was rare for someone to directly locate a branch, and whenever this happened historically, it was usually because Black Nether had provoked those Emperor Dao Sects.

Even if he found the place by tracking Ying Liu, it wasn’t simple. The ability of Black Nether assassins to remain hidden is not something just anyone can see through.

Wei Fan shook his head: "I just happened to run into your assassin, really, if I had to find you myself, there’s no way I could."

The Black Nether sent assassins to kill him three times. If he could find these people, he would have long been here.

"Run!"

Elder Ying acted decisively, disappearing from Wei Fan’s sight first. His Dao had only condensed five hundred feet, his cultivation only slightly higher than the Golden Lion King that Wei Fan killed.

If he were to assassinate the Golden Lion King, he was confident, but in a direct confrontation, he would have almost no chance to kill the Golden Lion King, so he didn’t plan to face Wei Fan directly.

For these types of Killing Saints, the terror lies in their assassination skills, direct confrontation is not their strong suit, and since the Saint Son had said he would kill Wei Fan, Wei Fan should be left to him. Otherwise, even if he could kill Wei Fan today, he would eventually be killed by the Saint Son.

Elder Ying disappeared, followed closely by Ying Liu. The two vanished from Wei Fan’s sight in an instant. He released his Heart Spirit to scan, but only saw the Martial King Ying Liu, not the Killing Saint Elder Ying at all.

"Such terrifying body technique, there must have been Martial Emperor level assassins in the Black Nether organization."

Wei Fan marveled, Black Nether’s techniques for concealing their form were simply invincible at the same level, completely undetectable. Even though his Power of Heart and Spirit rippled through the void, he did not find Elder Ying’s trace, as if he had vanished into thin air, as though the Void World itself did not exist.

"Boom!"

He flicked his finger, blasting Ying Liu into pieces in mid-air.

The blood mist exploded, and the void in front shattered as well, transforming into a surge of Chaos Qi, but Elder Ying’s figure remained unseen.

Within a radius of several hundred feet, including the grand hall, everything turned to dust. Wei Fan stood in the Void World, his Will Power sweeping like a tempest, yet he still couldn’t force Elder Ying out.

"Wei Fan, you have killed many of our Black Nether assassins, and today you destroyed the North Cauldron Continent branch. Wait for Black Nether to seek revenge on you."

Elder Ying’s voice came from all directions. He hadn’t gone far; instead, he issued a warning to Wei Fan, clearly confident in his concealment technique, believing that Wei Fan would not find him.

Indeed, Wei Fan had no good way to locate Elder Ying; even blasting the void was useless.

"Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?"

Suddenly, Wei Fan charged out.

He was just testing if conventional methods could break Elder Ying’s concealment technique, but that did not mean he was helpless against such methods; the Martial Arts Celestial Eye could see through all illusions and even detect weaknesses in Martial Arts.

At that moment, everything in his sight turned into lines, revealing Elder Ying’s figure.

"Boom!"

Wei Fan emitted a radiant glow thousands of feet wide, with terrifying Blood Qi piercing through heaven and earth. Mysterious Dao Marks emerged from his body, and his fist shot out like a Great Sun.

Great Sun Shattering Fist, at this moment he propelled this fist technique with the power of the Saint Dao, its destructive power was incredibly terrifying, as if even the void would ignite.

The domineering fist momentum could shatter the firmament, going forward without retreat.

"You..."

Elder Ying showed a look of horror, realizing that Wei Fan truly discovered him. In his panic, he exchanged a punch with Wei Fan.

"Bang!"

Vast power surged, and Elder Ying felt as if he had collided with the sun, a piercing pain emanated from his fist, his flesh was nearly roasted by the terrifying heat, his finger bones developed cracks everywhere, and his body involuntarily flew sideways.

"In such a short time, your cultivation has improved so much!"

Elder Ying exclaimed in disbelief. At the Five Tigers Sect battle, Wei Fan harmonized with the Dao and used the Perfection Level Martial Technique, Four Symbols Heaven-Sundering Slash, to swiftly kill the Golden Lion King, leading many to deduce his Dao was only slightly over a hundred feet then.

But now, from Wei Fan’s displayed combat strength, his Dao had absolutely reached three hundred feet.

In less than half a month, even with peerless Spirit Medicine, it shouldn’t be possible for the Dao to increase by a full hundred percent. If cultivating in the Saint Realm were so easy, most Saint Realm powerhouses wouldn’t spend their lives unable to complete the step of Condensing Dao.

"You rodent types, do you think I’ve been lucky a few times in killing your Black Nether assassins?"

Wei Fan’s black hair fluttered wildly, stepping on Cyan Nether Travel as he pursued.

"Bang!"

In his sight, Elder Ying vanished again, but this was only to the naked eye. Under the observation of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, Elder Ying remained within his perception.

This guy thought he couldn’t be seen and was changing his form to escape in a direction.

"Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Fist!"

Wei Fan shouted, his Will Power sweeping all around, drawing from the omnipresent Power of the Great Path to evolve his fist technique.

"Boom boom boom..."

The void trembled continuously, and around Elder Ying, in all directions such as up, down, left, right, and the four cardinal directions, fourteen enormous fists appeared, issuing terrifying waves towards Elder Ying.

The fourteen fists, like a cage, sealed off all of Elder Ying’s escape routes, leaving no way but to forcibly resist the fourteen fists.

"How did you see through my concealment technique?"

Elder Ying wore a look of disbelief. Once could be a coincidence, but twice was not by chance; Wei Fan indeed had the ability to see through his concealment technique.

The Black Nether relied on their supposedly unparalleled concealment technique to be arrogant, assassinating anyone without their knowledge, and even if someone with divine Martial Arts Spiritual Sense sensed the assassination just before it happened, they could always retreat with ease using their unparalleled Body Technique.

This was why he hadn’t hurried to leave; not only to warn Wei Fan but also to teach him a lesson, never expecting that his Body Technique would mean nothing in front of Wei Fan, that he could be found no matter where he went.

"Bang bang bang..."

The fourteen fists struck, and Elder Ying struggled to hold up his Domain to defend himself while swiftly striking Fist Seals with both hands, only managing to shatter six before the remaining eight struck his Domain.

The Domain instantly shattered, Elder Ying’s whole body trembled, and areas hit collapsed on the spot, spilling blood.

Yet he was not killed; this was merely a fist imprint struck by Wei Fan’s Dao Power — not enough to kill a Saint Realm powerhouse with a Dao condensed to five hundred feet.

However, during this delay, Wei Fan had already caught up, clutching Elder Ying’s skull.
